The D2187 front tire, otherwise known as the Don Garlits tire is getting in pretty short supply. GY has not made the tire in recent times.
Depending on the type of car you plan, they may or may not be appropriate. At speeds over 200 MPH on the salt they will be difficult to sell to the tech committee. I'm not saying they are not legal, but at speeds over 200 they tend to chunk. SCTA and ECTA know this and may or may not allow you to run at real fast speeds. I'm not saying you shouldn't pursue this, but do a LOT of talking to the appropriate committe members before you commit tons of money and time. I looked into shaving and buffing, but the folks I trust wouldn't touch them, even if I made the fixtures.
An alternative for the salt is an alloy version of this tire, but I didn't want to do that. Non rubber tires presents new problems of their own.
So instead the front tires and suspension of the liner version of my car is quite conventional.
When I tested my lakester on the salt with 4 "2187" front tires on the front, they were quite stable, didn't provide a problem, BUT, I was not going over 175 MPH due to shifting problems and having a mule engine of "Low" HP.
I was convinced during that outing in 04 that my car needed suspension. (and 21 inch front tires) This was the opportunity to rebuild the car into the liner that I always really wanted.
Oh, the only tires I have left are planned for the war wagon. All others were redistributed a few years ago.
